From the Files of False Alarms – Best Buy Not Closing in Columbia Heights

Last week I shared some scuttlebutt from a reader saying that Columbia Heights’ Best Buy was on the list of 50 Best Buys that will close. False alarm, false alarm. Thanks to everyone who sent in links from Best Buy’s PR department. One reader summed it up best:

“Looks like our local Best Buy is in the clear, whether that’s good or bad is up for debate of course.”

The good thing about reporting scuttlebutt — even if you admit it’s scuttlebutt — is you look like you’re a genius when you’re right, and if it’s wrong, you can just say ‘hey, I told you it was only a rumor.’
